I have a suspect ignition switch in my teener. Haynes manual exploded view is so small it's worthless. Clymer only has proceedure for 914-6. Anybody have a good resolution exploded view of the steering column components and / or a step by step? Is the key/mechanical portion still available? I know the electrical switch still is. Does having AC complicate things?

Piece of cake for a late one.
As a matter of fact I am forced to swap out the early steering column for a late unit. Holy crap ya got to go all the way back to the U - joint at the fire wall Then swap out the the upper column housing assembly and route the old wires though the new column Boy there is a lot of room in a late unit. and about 2 lbs lighter. Oh yea my early igition switch has finally given up there are no more rebuilds left in it. AND ya got to figure out which terminals to use in a late switch for an Early car. 30, 50, 5 and X |
